    MMP Video



    You get TWO votes


    1. Party Vote

    2. Electorate Vote

    Party Vote


    When you vote for a party, you help to choose how many seats in Parliament each party gets.

    The party vote largely decides the total number of seats each political party gets. Parties with a bigger share of the party vote get more seats in Parliament

    Which party from the 2020 election (left) won the most seat?

     

    Who won the least seats?



    Electorate Vote


    You vote for the candidate you want to represent the area you live in.

    The candidate with the most votes wins, and becomes an MP.

    2020 Election Results




    The 5% Rule


    Political parties must get at least 5% of the party vote OR win an electorate seat before they can have any seats in Parliament.


    .   

    For example, in the 2020 election Te Pāti Māori only got 1.17% of the party votes but got 2 seats in parliament because they won 2 electorate votes. 

    New Zealand First got 2.6% of the party vote but did not win any seats in parliament because they got under 5% and won no electoral votes. 


    List MP’s 


    • After the 72 electorate MP seats are filled, the remaining seats are filled from party lists. 

    • Every party has a party list, which is a list of candidates ranked in the order the party wants those candidates to be elected to Parliament. 

    • Candidates elected from a party list are called List MPs.
